The visitors were Qin Ting from You Wuwei and Huang Ji, the governor of Yuzhou.
As the saying goes, it’s hard to buy goods that you don’t have. Although You Wuwei is trapped in Chengdu, he never lacks money or food because Chengdu is the last barrier between Tuyuhun and the Great Zhou. If Chengdu is broken, Tuyuhun can sweep the entire Great Zhou. , But the whole place in Shu is about to change ownership.
Therefore, even the most mediocre and incompetent people in the court knew that Chengdu could not lose. Therefore, at this time, the Shuzhong tax in the Great Zhou Dynasty was not out of Sichuan, and it was all used to support Youwuwei.
Just like setting aside the imperial governor’s history, you Wuwei’s marching chief was a Jieduji who ruled the entire Bashu. Of course, Jieduji did not appear in Dazhou, but the entire Bashu taxation was included in him. That's not fake at all.
It’s a pity that money can’t buy things that you don’t have. Salt is what you don’t have in this world. No matter how rich you are, you can’t buy salt. Without salt, the sergeants won’t have the strength to fight. Now it seems awe-inspiring, but the emperor is inevitable.
Therefore, Qin Ting, who had raised salt for the army this time, was so worried about this. He was not allowed to host a banquet in this Linjiang Building to entertain Huang Ji, only because Huang Ji could raise 100 loads of salt for him. it is good.
One hundred dans of salt is really not much for having 50,000 sergeants, Uwuwei, but there is no way to be short of salt throughout the Great Zhou, and 100 dans are already very good.
When Qin Ting asked for a room on the third floor to meet Huang Ji, he saw his nephew and Wu Zheng also enter the Linjiang Tower. Seeing Qin Xiang, Qin Ting could not help but think of Qin last night. Xiang showed him the salted fish, a salted fish packed in a wooden box.
Is salted fish rare? It has always been not rare that it can be seen everywhere on the street at least fifty years ago. Although I dare not say that everyone can afford it, at least precious people generally don't eat that stuff.
I just don’t know when this kind of thing has faded out of people’s sight so quietly. In Qin Ting’s opinion, this salted fish has become a rare thing, and a salted fish has to be packed in a wooden box alone. , It's like ginseng.
At first, Qin Ting didn't care, thinking that Qin Xiang liked to mess around when he was young, but when Qin Xiang opened the box in front of him, his old man was dumbfounded.
Salted fish is salted fish. According to Qin Ting’s eyes, this is still a bad silver carp. As a salted fish, it is normal for some salt particles to stick to it, but if you put half a box of refined salt under the salted fish. It's too much.
Where is this selling fish, it is clearly selling salt!
"Xiang'er, where did you get the salted fish?"
"Uncle San, this fish is not cheap, one or two silver a catty."
"As long as each one brings so much salt, it's worth a couple of silver. Tell me where did this salted fish come from?"
Qin Xiang seemed to have expected his third uncle's reaction a long time ago, and smiled: "This is just a sample given by others. As for whether the other two hundred catties of salted fish are the same, my nephew still doesn't know. But wait for tomorrow. After meeting the seller, we can see the difference."
"Tomorrow? Why not today?"
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "This is the news from Yaxing. There is no way for my nephew without showing up!"
"Good, good, tomorrow is tomorrow."
After Qin Ting turned around and wrote a letter to Huang Ji, inviting him to give a report in Linjiang Tower today. The goal was naturally to raise salt, but Qin Ting also knew that asking him to get a hundred loads of salt at once would be a bit embarrassing for him. , So when he feels embarrassed, let him use his power to take down the salted fish seller to ask the source of the refined salt.
After all, this is someone’s territory. You Wuwei has already taken up the entire Bashu tax. If he still intervenes in the local affairs, it will inevitably attract the suspicion of the court. For this reason, if he is called back to the capital, he and his eldest brother will make an oath. Wouldn't it be a shame to avenge my brothers
You must know that in order to defend Chengdu Mansion, his second and fourth brothers and fifth brothers were all killed in battle. The feud between the Qin family and Tu Guhun was not shared.
This is why You Wuwei always likes to provoke Tuyuhun. Although there are victories every time, the soldiers often lack salt instead of retreating to Chengdu Mansion.
But this time is different. If this time the salt shortage problem can be solved in one fell swoop, using You Wuwei's combat power to join the remnants of the Tubo on the snowy field will definitely bury these wild men on the grassland forever.
So when he saw Qin Xiang taking a young man into the Linjiang Tower in Linjiang Tower, he never had a drink with Huang Ji... (End of this chapter)
